L-shell
Fig. 6.3. Number density of the cold plasma versus L-shell is given by (6.77).
Curve 1 represents a model with the plasmapause at L pp =4 . 9, and curve 2 is the
same but L pp =4 . 4

Here w 0 =(1+ νR I ) 1 / 2 is the boundary between the ionosphere and at-
mosphere, R I = R E + h a , and h a is the atmosphere thickness.
